Pharmacy Contraception Service 

You will be aware from reading the PSNC newsletter that the Pharmacy Contraception Service has now been launched.

If you are considering signing your pharmacy up to deliver this service please ensure that you have read the Service Specification before doing so https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/nhs-pharmacy-contraception-service-tier-1-ongoing-supply-of-oral-contraception/#3-requirements-for-service-provision

In particular we would like to draw your attention to section 5 of the specification which sets out the competency and training requirements for the service. Anyone who will be participating in delivering this service needs to have undertaken all this training before the pharmacy signs up to deliver the service.

PSNC have further comms on their website which can be viewed here: https://psnc.org.uk/national-pharmacy-services/advanced-services/pharmacy-contraception-service/
